What is 4-H?

4-H is an educational youth program focusing on the needs, interests, and concerns of young people. Our aim is to help Union youth gain a positive self-concept, develop social skills and decision-making abilities, and learn subject knowledge needed for a productive life. 4-H members develop leadership and citizenship skills through individual project work, group activities, community service, and school meetings. We are the youth division of the UGA Extension program. Visit the What is 4-H Page to learn more about the 4-H Program.
